“There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.”
Linda Hogan
Nature continues to amaze…In the first week of December ’07, I posted a picture essay about ‘Chrysanthemums’…from bud to flower. I tracked another set of plants over the next few days, the ones pictured above. Most of the chrysanthemums are sadly on their last few days now, having given us endless pleasure day after day. With just a few flowers remaining, they continue to provide a platform for butterflies & bees to land on…& proudly showcase the colours of nature!
Just sitting in the garden the other day, DH asked me to quickly click the blue bumblebee ( I think that’s what it is) that landed on a flower near him. Before I knew it, the bee, undisturbed by my close presence, dived right into the heart of the flower for nectar! Hot on its heels was the butterfly, checking out nectar in the last remaining flowers!
